Come sit under the stairs with me catch-up. I have one hormonal teen ready to rip the flesh from the bones of anyone who looks sideways at her and the other hormonal almost-teen waving a red flag and doing a jig.

I think there is something to this "sit very calmly and rock... rock... rock...hum too... and rock"

I like that plan. Somewhere dark to sit, hum and rock sounds perfect. It's not exactly the hormonal thing, but I think that's contributing to what she's going through. Spoke to one of her teachers this morning and cannot imagine why I didn't think to offer to come get her. I called back, left a voice mail and sent an email for them to call me if they think I need to bring her home.

*rocking and humming, rocking and humming*
